Northwest Passage has been committed to providing quality residential treatment...
and assessments for "at risk" kids for over 30 years. The Northwest System's commitment to kids developed and
expanded beyond residential programming in 2002. Northwest Counseling and Guidance Clinic and Northwest
Day Treatment Programs have joined the Northwest continuum of care and helped respond to community planning and treatment.
Hundreds of children and adolescents have benefited from our programs and have gone on to become healthy, productive
community members. This has most often involved hard work, perseverance and personal risk. To acknowledge
the ability of these
former residents to overcome adversity, the Northwest System has developed a foundation, The Passage Foundation,
which will help provide support or assistance through monetary scholarships.
This Foundation is entirely volunteer based and operates separately and independently from the Northwest System's programs. The Awards Committee includes volunteer community members from throughout Wisconsin such as business men and women, judges,
social service personnel, and education professionals.
The Passage Foundation Mission...
- To recognize and reward individual merit and effort of past residents of Northwest Passage Programs, including
Northwest Passage I, Northwest Passage II, Northwest Passage III, Northwest Child and Adolescent Center,
and Northwest Day Treatment Programs.
- To provide support or assistance to those identified as having overcome adversity while demonstrating
perseverance in the face of personal challenges and obstacles.
- To acknowledge those who risk change despite their fear of
repeating past failure.
- To help those who lack resources but struggle to continue on a constructive path.
The Passage Foundation Application Process...
The Passage foundation will grant monetary scholarships based on the following criteria:
- Former client/resident of Northwest Passage Programs or Northwest Day Treatment Programs.
- Nominations must be submitted in writing to the Board by any credible third party, including
social workers, teachers, counselors, or other community representatives.
- Awards will be based upon merit and need as presented by the nominating presenter. Merit will
be judged by the Board based upon candidates demonstrating self-improvement through constructive deeds
and actions in overcoming adversity. Genuine and constructive effort toward self-improvement shall be
the primary factor in determining merit.
- The Foundation shall make awards of support for any needs deemed credible by the Passage Foundation
Board. These awards may include tuition costs, loan repayments, down payments, or any other credible need.
